Just searched the forum and stumbled upon this relevant (to me) topic. As a player, I had just created a homebrewed object that fleshes out my backstory and noticed the spoiler code button next to adding links and images. Great I thought, I should be able to hide these details from the rest of the party until it comes up in the campaign, only my DM and me will see it.
I guess that's not how it works. I see the complete entry, of course, in my Homebrew Collection but on my character sheet it is redacted. My DM can't see it either. Is there a way to select exactly who could see the full details?
Example of spoiler text here. Just to see if the forum coding works the same way.

No. The system isn't designed to safeguard against metagaming. That's up to players and DM to manage. If you need to add something that is presented one way but is actually another, create 2 version: the presented version and the real version.
It would be the same, with even less convenience, if playing on paper. So while not perfectly ideal, it is still better than pen 'n' paper. And, to be realistic, it would be a lot of coding and implementing for such a seldom used and mostly unnecessary/niche thing that you can already do in 1 to 2 minutes. It will be very unlikely to ever be implemented.

Understandable. I only commented because it was the first time I noticed the Spoiler option. It fit my needs so I tried it out. Slightly disappointed my DM couldn’t see it but oh well. Perhaps, two spoiler buttons. One functions as is now. Another Metagame Spoiler button that reveals to anyone who clicks it. Click at your own risk. How many players could resist the temptation? Not many.

Not necessarily, no. Identify only reveals curses that state they are revealed by that spell. For the lore you might need a spell like legend lore.
